Environmental Engineering (PGDip) – (Grad.Dip.)

The rising interest in Environmental Protection has resulted in a substantial increase in the number of Environmental Engineering projects being undertaken throughout the world. This has generated a growing demand for good quality Environmental Engineers equipped with the knowledge, skills and expertise to design and implement effective solutions in a broad range of situations.

In response to this growing demand, the Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Engineering has been designed to suit Engineering graduates who are seeking a formal qualification in this fast developing field.

Course Content

The course content is planned to enable you, the engineer, to work across the interface between Engineering and the Environment, harmonising the responsibility and statutory requirements for environmental protection with the needs of a modern industrial society by assessing and managing the effects of natural and human activity on the natural and built environments.

To achieve this effectively requires a sound understanding of the technology and its application, together with an appreciation of the economic, legal, social and ethical aspects of the problems. All of these issues are addressed in the taught component of the course.
